Section 21 "Dragon's Blood" Secret Medicine

The leader of Upton was lying on the ground, his body was covered with soft bear skin, the loyal guards looked at their leader in silence, the crossbow bolt of the bed crossbow pierced the outer layer of the leather armor of the leader of Upton, but because of the sacrifice of a heavy warrior, the crossbow bolt did not penetrate the last layer of leather, but the huge inertia of the crossbow bolt broke several ribs of the leader of Upton, one of which was broken into his internal organs, although he entered the age of confusion, But the leader of Upton, who was once physically strong and not inferior to the young man, was now struggling to breathe.

"It's all my fault." Kang Tuoyi looked at the upton leader who was out of breath, he was annoyed that he hadn't discovered the strange weapon in the angry lion castle earlier, if he had found it earlier, he wouldn't have let the upton leader go into battle too soon.

"Hmm, it's all the gods' arrangement...... It is my glory that I can die on the battlefield instead of on the bed in the battles of my life. The leader of Upton tilted his head with difficulty, and looked at Kang Tuoyi with his own eyes lovingly, the corners of his mouth flowed black blood, this hero he taught carefully since childhood, it can be said that in the depths of his heart, the leader of Upton thought that Kang Tuoyi was the most suitable person to take over the title of Grand Chief of Mecklenburg, and it was a pity that he could not live to see which day.

"Don't give up on the chief of Upton, I've called the Priests of Lomwa, and even if a thousand sacrifices are needed, I'll take your life back from the gods." Kang Tuoyi held the hand of the leader of Upton with tears in his eyes, and said excitedly to the dying teacher.

"Here comes the clergy." At this moment, everyone shouted loudly to Kang Tuoyi. Several Lomwa priests dressed in religious robes came over, and the Slavs respectfully made way for them, and the Lomwa priests were not only the spiritual teachers of the Slavs, but in fact they also mastered various medical skills, which was the main reason why the Slavs were revered by the Slavs.

"No, it looks like it's hopeless." However, when the Elder Lomwa carefully watched the injury of the leader of Upton, he could only shake his head and say that there was nothing he could do, even effective herbs could not open the chest cavity of the leader of Upton to treat internal bleeding.

"It's a pity, I really hope to fight again, cough cough cough ~~~ poof." The leader of Upton had a lonely expression. The blood in his mouth had uncontrollably spurted into a blood mist. Looking at the appearance of the leader of Upton, everyone was full of emotion.

"If it's a fight, you can give it a try." Unexpectedly, Elder Lomwa took the last words of the leader of Upton with a serious face, and his words made the eyes of the leader of Upton, which had begun to dim, shine again, and the leader of Upton pulled the elder's sleeve violently. He opened his mouth and seemed to have something to say.

"Do you really want to use that?" Kang Tuoyi's brow furrowed. He knew about the choice of the leader of Upton. It's just that this choice is too painful, does the leader of Upton really want to put himself through that kind of inhuman torture?

"Hmm." The eyes of the leader of Upton were full of determination, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping down his cheeks. However, his hand was so gripping on the Elder Omwa that he could see that he was not attaining his goal.

"Alright, Elder, please use it." Kang Tuoyi's face turned pale, and he turned his back to the leader of Upton, he couldn't bear to see the appearance of the leader of Upton being tortured so greatly.

"Offer yourself to the gods and drink this." The Elder of the Lomwa Priesthood took out a delicate and small-mouthed vial from his bosom, he carefully uncovered the lid of the vial, then placed the mouth of the bottle next to the mouth of the leader of Upton, and dropped a few drops of the red liquid into the mouth of the leader of Upton, and watched the leader of Upton swallow the red liquid.

"What is this?" The other Slavs were amazed to see the pale face of the leader of Upton who had drunk the red liquid, and they all smacked their tongues and envied the elixir of resurrection, but there was an older and more knowledgeable person beside them who explained to them.

"This is the secret dragon blood of the Lomwa priests, even the dying can be brought back to life if they drink it, but the dragon blood is extremely terrifying, and even if it is alive, it is tormented by pain, and life can only last until sunrise the next day."

"Ahh~~~~~h While the people were talking to each other, the leader of Upton let out a roar, his face was as red as a boiled lobster, the green tendons on his head were like writhing earthworms, and his hands were constantly tearing at his clothes and leather armor, the tough leather armor was torn open, and the thick linen clothes were torn apart like tissue paper.

"The toxicity of the dragon's blood will penetrate every inch of the user's skin, and at this time, he will feel that every vein of his blood is being burned by the flames, and the pain will torture him to madness." Elder Lomwa was well aware of the horror of this medicine, that delaying life was simply too much of a luxury for mortals, and that the price was so great.

"Kang Tuoyi, Kang Tuoyi~~~~." The leader of Upton chanted Kang Tuoyi's name in pain, and Kang Tuoyi hurriedly walked to his side in a few steps, watching his former teacher being tortured, Kang Tuoyi's clenched fist nails were broken and he was unconscious.

"Chief Upton."

"Kang Tuoyi, I don't have much time, while I still have consciousness, attack again, the dragon's blood will double my strength, this time I must capture the walls of the infidels." The leader of Upton said to Kang Tuoyi with severe pain.

"Yes." Although he couldn't bear to look at the tortured appearance of the leader of Upton, it was undeniable that the words of the leader of Upton were correct, and now only with the extraordinary strength of the dragon's blood could he break the terrible walls of the infidels.

The roar on the other side also caught Arold's attention, but he thought it was just the painful groans of the wounded soldiers during the amputation, the sun at noon was particularly dazzling, the soldiers sat on the city wall and ate the soft bread and bacon brought by the slave girls to replenish their strength, who knew when the hateful Slavic heretics would attack, and the serfs who did not participate in the battle carried wood to strengthen the city wall, and carried baskets full of stones on the city wall, If there are enemies, other defenders who are close to the base of the wall can use stones to smash them down.

"Lord Arrod, it looks like the Slavs won't dare to attack for a while." Julian climbed the walls and watched the city in disarray, and the Slavs didn't even have time to remove the corpses of their companions, which shows how embarrassed his retreat was.

"I don't know, but the other party's generals have a very good set, probably the hero Kang Tuoyi who came in person as a messenger guard." Arold was angry that Kang Tuoyi slipped away from under his nose, but Kang Tuoyi easily broke his moat, which shows that this person with the title of hero is not simple.

"If I hadn't figured out the many defensive weapons in the castle, I would have stood still." Julian looked at the bed crossbows in the arrow tower, and couldn't help but secretly admire Arrod's whimsy, is it really as people say, the Wendell family has a magical set of ancient Roman art of war books.

"Woo~~~~." At this moment, a low trumpet sound came from the forest, and the people in the Angry Lion Castle were a little surprised, because this was the attack horn of the Slavs, and the Slavs attacked again when they had just failed the attack, were they not afraid of the morale of the soldiers crumbling?

"It looks like you guessed wrong, the soldiers went back to their posts." Arold teased Julian and shouted at the soldiers on the ramparts, ordering the non-combatants to take refuge in the Saxon House, where some of the timid women and children screamed and hid in all directions.

"These madmen." Julian frowned and shook his head and cursed, in his opinion the Slavs were simply irrational, and a reckless attack would inevitably fail, but the enemy's stupidity was his own luck, and he hurriedly returned to his own command post of the whirlwind.

The Slavs marched forward in a scattered formation of light infantry, archers and javelinmen this time, probably drawing on the first attack, when the formation was too dense and caused a rain of pebbles from the whirlwind cannons to cause a large number of casualties, and the arrows of the archers on the arrow tower were gathered, and after the lightly armed soldiers were the heavily armed warriors in leather armor and helmets holding swords, their steps were heavy but there was a sense of oppression that made people dare not look at them directly, and behind the hoplites were the goal-piercing teams carrying wooden stakes, Hiding behind heavily armed warriors was the main force for attacking the city gates.

"Whew, whew." The leader of Upton was wearing three layers of leather armor, and the edge of the three layers of leather armor was exposed on the edge of his clothes, because he drank the dragon's blood, he couldn't feel the weight of the leather armor at all, at this time, the leader of Upton felt that his body seemed to be inexhaustible, in fact, this was the "dragon blood" secret medicine of the Lomwa priests to stimulate his potential, but at the cost of burning his life function, at this time, the pain and fatigue of these originally normal nerves were paralyzed by the effect of the powerful secret medicine, These illusions make people who use secret elixirs think that they are possessed by gods, and they have all kinds of abilities that surpass ordinary people.

In the sky, pebbles rained down on the Slavs, although they tried to disperse as much as possible, but occasionally someone fell directly with a stone on their backs, and the screams were heard one after another among the besieging Slavs, but this time they did not flinch, because the secret medicine of the priests of Lomwa brought the leader of Upton back to life, which made the Slavs full of confidence in their gods, this time they were sure that their side was protected by the gods, and this frenzy of faith made the siege more and more cruel.
